Well done to P5 for some amazing egg decorating.

Here are some of the eggs brought in.

Well done P5.

This week in Primary 2 we have been continuing our topic on living things. We conducted some of our own research on the 6 different animal classification groups and had fun exploring their different characteristics.

We have also been practicing our number doubles with help from Jack Hartman  and his doubles song. Here is a picture of us in action.

This week Primary 1 have been learning about seeds and how they grow.  We watched a short animation called ‘Peep plants a seed’ and then went on to plant our own sunflower seeds.  We took our seeds home and will have a competition to see who can grow the tallest sunflower.  Watch this space!

Primary 1 have been busy writing 2 part stories.  We have been focusing on increasing the detail in our drawings, adding lines and patterns.  We have also been learning about finger spaces and full stops.  In our writing we have been trying hard to sound out words.  Well done!

Lots of great learning took place in P7 this week.

In Numeracy, we have been revising addition and subtraction of larger numbers and how to use a formal written method. We then used what we had learned and applied it to real world problems. We started with problems using one operation and quickly moved on to problems using more than one operation.

In Literacy, we continued to look at different types of procedures and our focus this week, was recipes. We wrote a plan for our own ultimate sandwich recipe. We will write and illustrate them next week. While we were talking about our ideas for favourite sandwiches we began to feel very hungry 🙂

In Science, we were making circuits with leads, batteries and lights then we had to introduce a switch.

In our IDL topic we are continuing to research Chinese celebrations and festivals as well as looking at our own Scottish ones.

All in all a very busy and enjoyable week.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Primary 7 and Mrs Andison 🌞

 

This week in Primary 2 we have continued learning about living and non-living things. We thought about how living things were similar and different and learned about the different animal categories before completing a sorting animals task . We then created an animal classification key to show the differences between the different groups.

We have also been working really hard on our common words with lots of us moving up a block making Miss McGregor very proud! Super Work Primary 2 🙂

This week the children were writing a procedure about their gravity investigation.

They were able to plan this correctly, They were able to meet all of their success criteria:

• write in the correct chronological order: title / goal / materials / steps
• to use bullet points and numbers
• to sequence their steps in the correct order
• to use present tense
• to illustrate their work
